You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325 Something Fishy About Her Identity

In the car.

The light of the streetlamps streamed through the car window, illuminating one side of Gu Mingchen’s face while hiding the other side in darkness.

In the rear seat, Gu Yan was cuddling up to Wu Nian. “Ms. Wu, didn’t you say you’ll tell me stories?”

In a soothing voice, Wu Nian started telling a story, “Once upon a time, there was a lion cub. When he was born, a hunter killed his Daddy and took his Mommy away from him. The cub and his little sister were then adopted by an elephant.

“When he was young, he was always bullied by tigers, wolves and hyenas.

“He would always tell himself that he needed to become stronger so that one day, he wouldn’t get bullied.

“He trained himself to run faster and grow sharper claws than any other animal. He also learned to avoid the hunter’s traps. Finally, he became the king of the jungle. He married a beautiful wife and had two baby cubs. In the end, the family lived happily ever after.”

She looked affectionately at Gu Yan, who had fallen asleep in her arms.

Gu Mingchen took several glances at Wu Nian through the rearview mirror. “Is Yanny asleep?”

“Yes. After you drop me off, put him in the child safety seat. Go slow and drive safe,” Wu Nian reminded.

Through the mirror, Gu Mingchen’s eyes bore straight into hers. Wu Nian could clearly see her reflection in the man’s dark eyes.

Feeling panicked, she cast her eyes down to avoid his gaze while subconsciously tightening her arms around Gu Yan.

Gu Mingchen soon retracted his gaze. In a solemn voice, he instructed, “I often go on business trips, and sometimes it might take more than half a month. Before this, they didn’t go to school since they didn’t meet the age requirement, so I brought them with me wherever I went. Now that they need to attend school, I can’t bring them with me anymore. I’m guessing you already know about Zhou Hailan’s true colors. Remember, don’t ever leave Yanny alone with her.”

There was a hint of confusion in Wu Nian’s eyes as she gazed at Gu Mingchen. “Mr. Gu, are you not going to remarry?”

“That’s none of your business,” Gu Mingchen said coldly.

Wu Nian lowered her head. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked that.”

Gu Mingchen tightened his grip on the steering wheel. He stated in a deep voice, “I believe Yanny’s mother is still alive.”

Hearing that, Wu Nian’s eyelashes fluttered. She remained silent while casting her gaze outside the car window. At that moment, tears started rolling down her cheeks. Fortunately, the darkness perfectly concealed her tears.

“Where do you live?” Gu Mingchen suddenly asked.

Wu Nian collected herself. She cleared her throat to let herself sound normal as she answered, “Oasis Hotel. Just drop me at the entrance.”

Gu Mingchen furrowed his brows. “How are you going to boil eggs when you’re living in a hotel?”

Wu Nian gave a rueful chuckle. “It’s not a serious injury anyway. I get such bruises all the time when I was working at the orphanage. The kids there are naughty, and they like running here and there.”
